I have had champions, Skeeters, Legend boats.

I drew Gary Clouse the owner of Phoenix boat at the PAA when they were on Ray Hubbard. I loved the boat, layout. I was wanting opinions from those who have them, road in them. To me Skeeter, Basscat, legend and etc., etc are all great boats. Likes Ford and Chevy. There both great trucks. I was just liking the layout and such of Phoenix so checking them out. I thinking the 20' with 225. Yamaha or Merc. Motor haven't decided yet.


Thanks,

I have a new Ranger Z520C but my buddy has a 921 Phoenix. I love his boat. Same basic layout as mine with a few minor changes. His boat takes rough water a little better than mine. That and not tracking as good in the wind while on the trolling motor is about the only difference I can see. Great boat, check em out. If I hadn't bought my Ranger it probably would have been a Phoenix.

great layout and fast too. i just got a skeeter and personally feel it drives a little better than a pheonix, plus i lucked into a great deal that helped me pull the trigger on it but pheonix was definitely on my shortlist

Have had 2 birds, 3rd will be here in a few weeks. It's a 919w/225 Pro xs, AWESOME BOAT! It's great for casual to tournament fishing. What stands out to me is layout as stated above and the ride in rough water. SUPER dry boat and soft landings. Customer service is best in the business. I've toured the factory and Phoenix is a top notch company from the bottom to the top in ALL areas. If you're around rayburn or toledo let me know, be happy to take you for a ride.

I sell them and have road in every Phoenix model. Great boat equipped with more standard features than other major manufacturers. Will be glad to take you on a demo ride and work you up a quote on one.

I like the layout but more importantly, the width of the front deck. Nice and big.

I have a 2015 921. I have had several boats but the two that I owned that would be compairable, due to length, horsepwer, etc. would be a Triton TR21, and a Skeeter ZX250. The Triton handled rough water better and rode better, but I liked the layout of the Skeeter better, and both were fast boats. From what I have experienced so far with the Phoenix is that you get everything I mentioned above in one package. It's a great boat.

Love my Phoenix! Had a couple Skeeters in the past and they are great boats but even my wife commented on how much better the Phoenix rode. Had an issue with one of the seats and contacted Phoenix about it. They called the next day and were all over it. Very easy to work with. No wasted space. I have the smaller boat (618) and it's got a ton of storage.

Rode in Russ Lanes as a marshal. Nice boat! Big front deck and fishes flat, which I like smile

I'm on my 6th Phoenix and am completely satisfied. If your around Toledo Bend look me up for a ride. Great company and they stand by their products.

I drive a 2013 920 with a 250 Show and I've had Basscats, Skeeters, 2 Rangers and a Legend. This boat has a great ride, very soft landings, great in rough water, wide deck, nice layout and is fast. I will have it for sale in a couple of weeks because I'm ordering a 2015. Going to start seeing more and more of them. You won't be disappointed!
